Gameplay
Creature — Cat Citizen
Backup 1 (When this creature enters, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If that's another creature, it gains the following ability until end of turn.)
This creature assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.
Like the laws, the rules of engagement always seem to bend in the Brokers' favor.

wotc
If a backup ability causes another creature to gain abilities, the creature with backup will still have those abilities.
wotc
Streetwise Negotiator’s ability doesn’t actually change any creature’s power. It changes only the amount of combat damage the creature assigns. All other rules and effects that check power or toughness use the real values, even if they cause damage “equal to a creature’s power” to be dealt. Notably, if Streetwise Negotiator (or the creature that gains its ability) fights, it uses its actual power to determine how much damage it deals.
